Ruffles Jalapeño Ranch

Taste test: These potato chips had medium-width ripples, with generally a light yellow color and lots of bits of green in the ripples. Many of the chips were quite large, and there were lots of chips in the bag, even if they only filled it (or it had settled to) a bit over halfway.

We crunched in to find a crispy, mid-strength crunch and a nice mix of ranch and potato initially, with some peppers to taste but not really any heat. After I ate several large chips in rapid succession, some heat did start to build up, adding a nice kick to the finish. The heat stayed around for quite a while for a mild burn of an aftertaste. Good chips!

Smell test: Fairly strong ranch smell, kind of like a mix of ranch flavor with sour cream and onion.

From the package: “Get your taste buds off the bench and into the game with Ruffles® Jalapeño Ranch flavored potato chips. It's the perfect alley-oop of flavor. Every bite has a blast of creamy ranch flavor and a little kick of jalapeño — it's a slam dunk.” ... “More ridges. More crunch. More flavor.™” ... “Official Chip of the NBA”
